mental illnesses on the internet

Hello!!! 

Today i would like to talk about how mental illnesses are potrayed on the internet! Im sure most of you guys know how there are 'romanticied' versions of mental illnesses and some are even a trend???

I really don't understand why people think having a mental illness is aesthetic or something. like yeah sure, we can normalize it, but the problem is that not every part of it is normalized and when you say that, for example. you say you have depression and dont do anything all day, people usually understand, but once you start to tell them the not so talked about symptoms (not brushing your teeth, not showering, use more alcohol) you are suddenly disgusting. 

Maybe im just not smart enough to understand this but, to me, it just seems very unfair. as someone who has gone through a couple of things, a mental illness is not 'aesthetic'. I have no idea why someone would try to fake it. which ive seen mulptiple people doing as well. Speaking about faking, that doesnt only go for mental illnesses, ive seen people fake physical disorders too and thats just disgusting to me. not only it is disrespectful, but also like why??? i truly dont get it.

I wish there could be a way for people to understand that its not that simple. but how do we make that happen? that i dont know. a good start would be to make awareness posts. because the human mind is very complicated and mental illnesses truly arent that simple.

Anyways, if anyone who's reading this is currently going through something, i hope you can heal from it as soon as possible. i wish you good luck, remember every step will get you closer, even if its a little one. love you guys!
